Fix for Rust examples 8 - 9

[marvin-hansen]

Last batch of fixed up Rust examples.
Example 8 got a major makeover b/c the latest rules_rust separated into multiple sub-modules,
which required quite some refactoring.
Resolves #540

The number of files for "07-deps-vendor" went up by a lot, is this absolutely necessary in the example?

[marvin-hansen]

Well, I can restructure the example to exclude vendoring, which cuts out all those files. The example still does the same just without the third partyfolder. If that's prefered, i push out a patch probably tomorrow.

I just looked at the sample code and it's actually the vendoring example. This is an ugly topic because remote vendoring has changed a lot. Let me ask on the rules_rust slack to figure that one out. I'm only using local vendoring for a number of reasons but it's time to figure local vendoring out again.

Bzlmod also offers a native vendor mode: https://bazel.build/external/vendor, not sure if it should be preferred.

[marvin-hansen]

I actually tried native bzlmod vendoring once and after having downloaded about 25GB of every Bazel rule for every platform under the sun, I decided it's really only for total corner cases i.e. air gapped builds. In all fairness, the official documentation says basically the same so it's really only for those who need a total level of hermitic isolation. I would skip this for the rust examples. The tricky thing with rules_rust is, there are actually 4 different vendor modes and I sense it's about high time to set the record straight and document that correctly in the examples. Let me think this through and update the example in a sensible way.

😅, I guess that's before we implemented vendoring targets? With https://bazel.build/external/vendor#vendor-target-dependencies, the Bzlmod vendor mode will only vendor dependencies required to build your targets for the current configuration, which should be much less dependencies than vendoring the whole world.

[marvin-hansen]

That's exactly right, I tried out the very first version that came out... I give it another try when I find a bit of time because vendoring target sounds about right to me...👍👍👍 Thanks for the info.
